I've been to Germany, I've been to Spain
Walked down Beale Street and turned up Main
When I put her on that last mail train
there was nothing left to lose

I listened to the engine whine
And when she set off this one last time
she didn't leave a single thing behind

Fix your hair the way you used to
Pull it back and let me know
that you're the same girl I met
on that warm night back in Tupelo
There ain't no wind in this town
There's no one around that we might know
Fix your hair the way you used to
one last time before you go

"Harry called while you were out," she said.
He asked, "Was he drunk?"
She said, "No, but he'd been drinking.
I could tell."
"What'd he want this time?"
"He wants to talk to you," she said.
"All I know is he's somewhere in Nebraska,
hole up in some motel."

He ha

I was born just out of town
and I never could get in
So I turned to traveling 'round
where the nights fade and the days begin
They called me a hobo
but I never took that name
And they called me a pilgrim
but I was not to blame
As I wandered through the tall pines

The July wind blew from the mountain
And threw a chill on the lake shore
The whitecaps danced around us
Like they never have before
There ain't no room in this little town
No one to settle up the score
So we must live with what we both put down
Just before we lost the

The road was the color of the road
and the sky was the color of the sky
And the heat was the breath of your kiss
when you waited far too long to sigh
Your stories were just stories
Your love not even that
Though you knew of my past glories
when I could win a heart whe

Lock the door and say goodbye
There's new folks moving in
Leave the key in the mailbox now
And kiss me once again
Kiss me for the ones who say
All love comes to an end
Though we never let it go that way
We start alone again

Our years they ran in circles
It w

The church was cold and darkness
at the early morning Mass
Till the sun brought its own colors
to the figures in the stained glass
And they shown from a light
that came from so far away
It was a miracle to my young eyes
on St. Valentine's Day

The streets, they w

He was too old for that bar
but it was the only one around
And he needed a beer
So that's where he was found
He took an empty stool
amid the jocks and punks
He could take them all to school
when it came to being drunks

Miles from home again
He was overdrawn

This moonlight in New York
will not go away
I sit in this hotel
and tonight I'm just too drunk to pray
She said that she'd always love me
but that she might not always stay

(Refrain:)
Have a seat
Have a seat
And we can look at the world through this window

Will you be my rose?
Will you take my hand?
Will you keep me there
When it's time for me to make a stand?

Will you be my rose
In the morning true
When the nighttime fails
And the world begins anew?

Will you be my rose
When I'm gone away
In the sweet re

Smoke 'em if you got 'em
You're not too far from the bottom
and it's still so early in the day
She told me what she taught 'em
We're just halfway into autumn
But when winter comes, it's here to stay

The snow falls pretty and it covers up the ground
and it hides
